Problem
Therapists, counsellors, and coaches are required by professional ethics to have a plan for client care if they become suddenly ill or die, but creating and maintaining a secure, up‑to‑date Clinical Will is cumbersome and prone to data‑protection risks.
Solution
ClinicalWill.app is a web‑based platform that lets private mental‑health practitioners create, store, and regularly update a Clinical Will that meets ethical and legal standards. Practitioners enter client and business details, then invite designated Clinical Trustees and Next of Kin, each with secure, role‑based logins that restrict access to only the information they need. The system sends reminders to keep the will current and notifies trustees when the will is accessed. All data are protected with industry‑standard encryption and hosted in compliance with UK GDPR and DPA 2018, ensuring confidentiality while providing trustees immediate access in an emergency. The platform also offers a free 60‑day trial and a “pay what is fair” subscription model aligned with the practitioner’s session fees.
Target Audience
Primary users are independent counsellors, therapists, and coaches who must fulfill ethical obligations for client continuity, as well as their appointed Clinical Trustees and Next of Kin.
